Caught a couple perch by the dock today. Here are my best two. I don't know why but all of the better ones were in about 15' of water( which explains their dark coloring ) while all of the others were in about 5' on beds. caught them on night crawlers free lining without a weight.  |

Nice catches Logan! Uhhhh, those are bluegill not perch Nice catch regardless. Matt, not everyone talks like a "Hoosier."  A perch is a bream, which is a 'gill.  Heck, what I've always called a perch is a drum!  |

And a crappie is a sac-au-lait, and a redear is a chinquapin...at least that's what my friends on Salty Cajun call them.

Didn't mean to sound like I was belittling you Logan |

I kind of wondered about that but I've never looked up perch on the internet and seen a picture of a bluegill I image googled "Arkansas perch" and some bluegill pics came up. I found an Arkansas fishing site that said most folks call them bream, but a few old timers still call them perch. My grandpa called freshwater drum "white perch." |

All I know is if I was fishing with a buddy and I reeled in a bluegill and said "nice perch!", they would think I was the biggest idiot ever It's funny how fish names change in different parts of the country. Such as, I never hear anybody call a bluegill a bream up here but you go down south and everyone calls it a bream. If you say the word bluegill down there they look at you like just named off some foreign rare fish. This actually is kind of an interesting topic that your post started. |

Last weekend i was catchin some real nice ones. I was fishin in some small coves comin off the lake, they were holding in there getting ready to spawn. some of them had beds made ,but werent on them. The water is wayyy down so i think thats why they arent spawning yet. Most of them were about 7 3/4" but a few were over 8".
